John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 42:1-20

The New TempleEzekiel, transported in vision to Palestine, is set down on the N. side of the Temple mountain, and sees the Temple buildings extending to the S. like a city. A supernatural figure, like those in Ezekiel 9:0, appears, and measures the various parts of the Temple in Ezekiel's presence (Eze 40:1-4).(a) The Outer Court and its Gateways (Eze 40:5-27)The Outer Eastern Gateway (Eze 40:5-16), Fig. 3, E. For the following details see Fig. 1. The outer boundary of the Temple was a wall 6... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 42:15

(15) The inner house.—This expression is here evidently used neither of the Holy of Holies, nor of the whole Temple building exclusively, but of all that had been measured, all that was included within the wall of the outer court. The prophet is led out from this by the eastern gate to measure a much larger space around it. It is not said in what part of this space the Temple with its courts was situated; but, for the reason given in Ezekiel 42:20, it is to be supposed that it was in the centre. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 42:16

(16) With the measuring reed.—According to Ezekiel 40:5 the reed was six cubits long; 500 reeds therefore, the measure of each side of the square, was 3,000 cubits, or about 5,000 feet = nearly a mile. Of course such a space, quite as large as was ever enclosed by the walls of ancient Jerusalem, would have been impossible upon the hill of Moriah, and various efforts have been made by some of the commentators to reduce the size; but the use of the reed as the unit of measurement is decisive. The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 42:20

(20) It had a wall.—Around this vast enclosure on all sides was a wall, not of the slight character of that in Ezekiel 42:7; but the same word is used as in Ezekiel 40:5, of the massive wall surrounding the outer court. The object of this enclosure was to protect the sanctity of the Temple and its courts, “to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.” read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:1-20

THE SANCTUARYTHE fundamental idea of the theocracy as conceived by Ezekiel is the literal dwelling of Jehovah in the midst of His people. The Temple is in the first instance Jehovah’s palace, where He manifests His gracious presence by receiving the gifts and homage of His subjects. But the enjoyment of this privilege of access to the presence of God depends on the fulfilment of certain conditions which, in the prophet’s view, had been systematically violated in the arrangements that prevailed... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:1-20

THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE These chapters give a picture of the restored temple at Jerusalem during the Millennium, and of the worship of the Messiah when He shall exercise sway from that center to the ends of the earth. Beginning with Ezekiel 40:1-5 , we have an introduction to the subject: (1) the location and the opening vision (the vision is of a city on the south); (2) a man with a measuring rod; (3) a building surrounded by a wall (Ezekiel 40:5 ). In Ezekiel 40:6-16 the measurement of the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 42:13-20

There is somewhat particularly striking in the account here given of the holy chambers, and the uses intended for them. In the Hebrew the expression is beautiful; they are the holinesses of holinesses: see Leviticus 2:3 . And what do we learn from hence, but that Jesus, our Great High Priest, is here set forth, our New Testament Altar, Sacrifice, and Sacrificer! I wish all true followers of the Lord Jesus would keep this in remembrance, for then we should hear no more of calling that place the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 42:20

REFLECTIONS READER! while you and I are following the Prophet, led by Jesus, through the several apartments, let us not lose sight of Him, who is himself the habitation of his Church and people, and their portion forever. Here let us contemplate the Lord indeed, under every endearing character, and we shall find him to be our dwelling place, our Temple, our Altar, High Priest, and Sacrifice! And how do all his perfection's suit our souls, for our abiding place, and rest, and, solace, and... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 42:16

Five. Hebrew emoth should be meoth, "three hundred, as it is printed (yet not in the Protestant version. Haydock) thrice just after, and as it is written here in Manuscript 4. Camb. 1. 2." (Kennicott) --- Reeds. Septuagint, "cubits," as Hebrew, St. Jerome, &c., insinuate. The mountain was only five hundred paces square, even when it was enlarged in the time of Josephus. (Jewish Wars vi. 14.; Greek) --- We must therefore read cubits. (Calmet) --- If we retain reeds, (Haydock) the wall... read more
